The Concept of Cultural Humility as It Relates to Instructional Practices in the General Music Classroom
Journal of General Music Education, v36 n2 p5-12 Jan 2023
A framework of cultural humility includes three main tenets: (1) commitment to lifelong, critical self-reflection; (2) recognition and mitigation of power imbalances; and (3) accountability to individuals and institutions. In this article, I aim at applying the concept of cultural humility to frame my analysis of musical diversity in music education. Through a cultural humility lens, music teachers may acknowledge their own beliefs, values, biases, and prejudices in relation to diverse musics. A commitment to lifelong introspection through self-reflection and critique may help teachers continue to investigate new ways to redress power imbalances inherent in music education, as well as build their relationships with students and communities bidirectionally.
